well kids. i did it. i packed up my life and moved to oregon. and so far my friends, it has been an exciting adventure to the say the least. it's funny the first question anyone asks here is, what brings you to portland. lets face it, you kinda have to move here for a purpose as the weather lacks a bit in the open arm friendly inviting kind of way. but here's the deal, i don't really have a purpose. i came here to fine tone my passions. to follow them. live them wildly. to explore. to get excited.
it has taken me a week and i am happy to say i have finally began taking photos. and more importantly, mistakes or not, i am finally getting excited about what i am taking. it's what i needed to jump back on track and get with the program for what i am doing here. so next time someone asks, instead of saying life, i wanna proudly say, i am chasing my passion. that's why i am here. that's what i am doing. and gosh darn it. i am excited about it.
i took this from the car while road tripping up here. it wasn't where my intention laid but for some inexplicable reason, i love it.
some more car driving photo taking gone right.
a washington state river.
more river runs through it action. i wanted my friends to come out in the photo and just not be the focal point. i love how it turned out.
the following two flowers were taken with two seperate
cameras. i wasn't sure why the background kept overexposing but i totally dug it. and on the second one, i wanted the follow through of the red in the background to be there.... both were taken intentionally, i just can't decide which i like better. maybe i don't have to pick favorites...
what's exciting about this one above is that i feel like it looks photoshopped where really it was just the way i shot it.
xoxo.
